Oregon Yellow Fever Program

Certification and administration site registration

Providers interested in administering yellow fever vaccination must apply for Oregon Yellow Fever Program certification and register their administration sites (pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, etc.). Registration allows providers to purchase and store yellow fever vaccines and related supplies.

Providers are responsible for ordering and purchasing their own yellow fever stamps. OHA will provide all necessary information to ensure that purchased stamps meet international standards for recognition and verification of yellow fever vaccination. The stamp allows certified providers to sign the “yellow card," which validates the record.

Online reporting is strongly encouraged. Please report clinically important adverse events that occur after vaccination of adults and children, even if you are not sure whether the vaccine caused the adverse event.

The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) accepts all reports, including reports of vaccination errors. Guidance on reporting vaccination errors is available if you have additional questions. If you need further assistance with reporting to VAERS, please email info@VAERS.org or call 1-800-822-7967.
